Art

French C Honors students have been learning how to talk about and describe artwork, especially paintings. Here, they worked with a partner to describe a painting and have their partner draw it without being able to see it. Our results got recycled before we could take photos, but here we are working on it!

In Honors French we are beginning a lesson on how to talk about art in French, so we invited Mrs. Sibley to come in and give us an introduction on how to read a painting. She also taught us about the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, and Beaubourg and got us up to speed on the different types of art found in the Louvre vs. Orsay and how you recognize an Impressionist painting. Merci, Mrs. Sibley!

My French C Honors class (8th grade) has been learning a bit about French art and the museums of Paris. We’ve learned vocabulary for describing paintings and our wonderful art teacher, Mrs. Sibley came to talk to us about Impressionism so that we would be prepared for our field trip to the High Museum to view an exhibit of Cézanne and other French artists. A link to the photos taken by Mrs. Inman (francophile herself) is below. Special thanks as well to Mrs. Pottorff and Mrs. Eichenlaub who organized lunch at Café Lapin and drove the group!
